My leukemia's back.

Blooie, it seems we get what we need the most when we need it the most. I'm so happy you got that "love you" from Kendra! And thanks for the Halloween pictures, she's a cutie in her costume and Evan & Katie did a great job with the pumpkin carving.

LG, I'm joining the chorus on the crab legs...you have to try them when you get the chance. I prefer them over lobster any day. And nothing beats a good crab cake (with just barely enough other ingredients to hold the crab meat chunks together). Or crab bisque. Or crab chowder. Ooh, and stone crab claws can't forget those. Ok, I like crab!

Rachel, glad you liked the Italian sausage seasoning.

Happy Halloween everyone!

I am not a "crab" person. (Hubby would disagree!) To me, it smells and tastes like a dirty sock.....not that I've ever eaten dirty socks. Going to try to post pics of kitchen so far. Contractors have got a lot done, but still lots to go!

Looking forward to seeing your pictures Outpost! (And I'll take your crab since you don't like it, ok?)

Halloween? I looked in the mirror and scared myself - who needs a costume? Princess says I need to smile more.

At the risk of being censored here by the mods, I have to tell this story. My dad stood 6'4" and Ma was a whopping 4'11. Ma was a bartender/bouncer in a pretty rough bar. Every year the bar she worked at had a Halloween costume contest with cash prizes, and every year she talked Dad into doing it. They had about done the "long and short of it" costumes to death and never won anything.

So this particular contest came up and Ma knew what she was going to do. She fussed all day long, getting the hair just right, the makeup perfect, the costume arranged, and every time she came downstairs from the bathroom Dad was just sitting there at the table, reading the paper, or eating, or having a beer. She begged, she pleaded, she nagged.....nothing.

Finally she was all ready to go and madder than heck at Dad for not being dressed in anything. She started in on him again about not being dressed. Dad stood up and said, "I'm dressed." and he pointed. He had run a small chain through a potato and hung it from his belt buckle. "I'm a dictator." They won 300 bucks!

I'll be watching my PMs for my patty slap now.

Oh, Blooie, I am laughing hysterically. If you get 'slammed', know that it was worth it.

Shared this with the Princess - she looked nonplussed until I said 'Dic tator'. - "Oh my God" is what she muttered as she walked away shaking her head.

I was right there with the Princess...took me a minute. It's early yet.

Blooie, not sure the mods frequent this thread much, and we'll never tell, that's for sure!

 

[Blooie]

Long as you don't tell, I won't tell!

 

[sourland]

@ Rachel - you and the Princess - pure thoughts.

I'd like to think so, but in this house testosterone rules. To make Blooie feel better about flirting with the mods, I'll share what happened last night.....we'll get slapped together.

I'd cooked Honey's turkey for dinner. Big Boy came home late and he, Honey and I were sitting in the livingroom while he ate. He had a drumstick but was still hungry. Said "I'm going to go whack off some white meat".......I about spit my drink out, Honey laughed until he had a coughing fit and Big Boy turned so, so red in the face. I won't even go into where it went from there........
